She’s the last member of a Florida paleoindian tribe thought to be extinct – the Tequesta. With her share of the money she plans to buy, bribe and blackmail her way into her own ancestral tribal lands in the heart of the Everglades a Tequesta nation.
Lucy leads the brothers into her beloved swamp, determined to kill them. But when she falls for Edgar she must decide whether to risk her heritage and the future of her tribe to save the doomed brothers.

Brightwing is an incredibly unique and quite enjoyable mystery/thriller. It took me a few chapters to get in to the story, which started out slowly. However, after having gotten in to the story, I appreciated the author's pace and creativity.The story centers around three main characters: Lucy, Edgar and Mallory. Each is a criminal running from the authorities. Lucy just pulled off a heist worth millions, and Edgar and Mallory are fugitives on the run from a deadly escape. When their paths cross, they all have hidden agendas to keep themselves alive and free. All three of these characters are incredibly well written with flawed personalities that make you love them and hate them at the same time.
As a mystery lover, I can appreciate a thrilling suspense and Brightwing delivers that and much more. If you are looking for a unique story with great characters, this book is definitely worth picking up.

Brightwing eBook Sullivan Lee Reviews
Lucy Brightwing has a dream. She wants to have enough money - millions- and start her own tribe. She comes from the ancient Native American tribe, Tequesta. She's also the last of her people, but she is determined to return to her lands. In order to achieve this dream, she needs money and lots of it. Fortunately for her, she listens and does her homework. She ends up stealing millions of uncut jewels from a jeweler.
Fresh from her heist, she is annoyed when her break lights stop working on her journey to freedom. To make matters worse, two well-dressed men stop to aid her, with a gun. She is sure she can take them, but is worried about the authorities being involved. If they are, they'll find her ill-gotten gain in the trunk. But she plays along, there is something about the older one, Edgar, that makes her want to help them.
The Battle brothers, Edgar and Mallory, escaped prison and have left a trail of bodies on their path to freedom. Edgar is the older brother and just wants to escape from the authorities and live the good life. Mallory, though, doesn't think before he acts and continues to kill. Edgar tries to clean up his mess, as a good brother, but knows the authorities are hot on their trail. With a hostage, they may have a chance, but at what cost?
Brightwing is a stellar novel brimming with criminal activities, action, romance and phenomenal character development. Mallory really is insane and that shines through in his actions and thought processes. Lucy and Edgar compliment one another and the choices they make accellerate the novel. Highly recommend!!
As an early work this book is not a bad one, I have read much worse from professionally published authors. The dialog is well thought out, the actions scenes nicely constructed and the overall flow of the book pleasing. The chief complaint I have is that this book still aspires to be more than it has become.
The main character is practically perfect in every way. Lucy is an ass-kicking, suave, aggressive femme-fatal who can beat any odd flung her way. She can find a way out of any situation without any major consequences for her actions which roll off her like water. Nothing weighs on her, and in the end there is no question of her winning everything she wants. In the end the solutions to all her problems practically fall into her lap simply because she's Lucy, She Who Cannot Fail.
A lot of authors have trouble with the ending. It is important to get the opening of a book just right, to tickle the imagination and interest the reader. But it is just as important to get the ending to the perfect point in the story that you do not leave your readers wondering "what just happened?". An open ending is possible to set up for a sequel, but this book did not give that impression. I ended up troubled by what felt like the authors wish to continue, that there were more things that needed to be said but not enough pages to say them. There was no definite ending to one chapter in Lucy's life to eventually be continued in the next chapter, a sequel. New problems cropped up in the last 10 pages with hasty resolutions that felt forced, and new characters were introduced randomly and suddenly without supporting background.
THIS IS A SPOILER FOR THE ENDING Mallory's ending left the most questions. Mallory is left alive at the end, after raping and torturing his way through the book, in the care of people who want to build a new and better nation. Granted, they're not good people, but Mallory is far worse than their type of bad. There is no restriction to his movements, no warning to the women he may eventually torture and rape, only the hope that he can perhaps be cultivated into being a good little monster. Supposedly Lucy is making a safe haven for her people, but it seems doomed to failure from the beginning just by his presence. Too many possibilities popped up into my head as I read the "resolution" Lucy had come to regarding Mallory, to many conveniences to his psychosis and to many assumptions about their ability to control him.
I can see this book eventually reaching its aspirations, overall I was pleased enough with the story line to justify its purchase. However if it is to go mainstream it will need adjustment.
Now I will be the first to admit I am a true romance novel junkie...this book is NOT a romance novel, Sure you have 2 characters that fall in love along the way, but this almost leans more towards a crime drama or an action story. Which is NOT a bad thing at all. I found the authors' writing very detailed and easy to read. While I do understand and even agree with many of the previous reviewers' points on the story I still felt it was a very good read. If you are looking for something a little different, I strongly suggest you pick this up, and hey at the price you've really got nothing to lose! I personally will be looking forward to more of Ms. Lees' work.
